It is a very interesting and inspiring course. Charles explain the complicated theories in Python in a way that is pretty easy to understand. It is definitely a good course for anybody who seeks to start his or her experience of Python.
Great course and good explanation for most of the topics covered in this course
Dr. Chuck is great! Jumping into Python is incredibly easy even for someone without programming experience. Python's way of breaking down code into a more easily understandable sequence (almost like spoken language) makes understanding the basics a breeze.
The assignments are nice but not enough. People learning need tons of repetition to nail down basic skills. Rather than a single assignment at the end of the chapter, multiple smaller coding assignments/exercises would be more useful. I found that the quizzes were not that useful and that short coding practice to get repetition would be more useful. Overall a good course though. Lectures are easy to follow.
An excellent, clear introduction for people who are brand new to programming. If you've done a significant amount of programming before, you may find it a little slow paced, but it's always good to remind yourself of the basics.
Great lectures, great text book. I really liked the professor - in his videos he progresses fast enough that you don't get bored, but slow enough that you can understand the material. I generally dislike watching instructional videos because I'd rather read the instructions and do it at my own pace, which is usually faster than the video's pace, but I didn't mind watching these. I also liked the fact that he had a textbook that you can use as reference so that you don't have to re-watch the videos over and over again.
Great programming course for starter.
